The Turbo suspension lamp by Louis Weisdorf, designed in 1965 and produced from 1967 onwards, is an iconic example of design that combines formal simplicity with structural complexity. Light yet solid, sculptural yet ethereal, it perfectly embodies the Danish designer’s aesthetic, which transforms the repetition of elements into a harmonious and dynamic gesture. Today, Gubi has reissued it in a more durable and robust version, whilst keeping the original inspiration linked to the delicacy of Japanese rice paper intact.
Its silhouette is defined by twelve identical spiral slats that wrap around to form a floral globe capable of diffusing light softly. It is a pure example of Weisdorf’s passion for modularity and repetition, recurring themes throughout his work.
Available in two sizes and a single finish, the Gubi Turbo suspension lamp fits naturally into a variety of settings: suspended above the dining table, it illuminates with elegance and precision; in a cosy corner of the living room, it creates a refined interplay of light and shadow that highlights its unique form. A luminous presence that combines poetry, rigour and timeless charm.
